Bachelorette debuts with lowest ratings, Garrett under fire for social media posts!

Yikes. The premiere of Season 14 of The Bachelorette on ABC Monday was the lowest in the show’s history, down 22% over last season’s premiere. But competition was stiff as it was the final day of the Memorial Day Weekend holiday and Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals was airing on NBC. Did you tune in?

Garrett Yrigoyen is coming under fire for allegedly “liking” social media posts that mock members of the trans community, undocumented immigrants and a survivor of the Parkland high school shooting. The Bachelorette contestant has deleted his Instagram since the controversy erupted, but screenshots taken by a former Bachelorcontestant named Ashley Spivey are making the rounds. Meanwhile, Becca Kufrin, who he set out to woo, is a staunch Hillary Clinton supporter and has taken part in women’s marches and other demonstrations for liberal causes.
